What is Spree Commerce?

Self-hosted Spree Commerce is an open source ecommerce platform. Its README describes an open-source headless eCommerce platform with a complete REST API, a TypeScript SDK and a separate Next.js storefront, for cross-border storefronts, B2B wholesale or a custom commerce backend, under the BSD 3-Clause licence. Merchants can choose it over a hosted store account when they want to keep ownership of the code, data and infrastructure.

On xCloud the template runs the ghcr.io/spree/spree 5.6.1 image beside a private PostgreSQL 18 database, both pinned by immutable digest, with spree_storage and spree_database volumes. xCloud generates the first administrator password, database credentials and Rails signing secret, and publishes the admin and API over HTTPS. The Next.js storefront, payments, SMTP and search are not included and are yours to add.

From Sign-Up to a Live Spree Store In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting an API-first commerce platform normally means a container, a database, generated secrets, a domain and a certificate before a single product exists. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Spree Commerce from the OneClick catalog. Choose your site title, domain and target server, then enter the administrator email — xCloud generates the initial password, database credentials and signing secret automatically.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Spree Commerce 5.6.1 image, pinned by immutable digest, alongside a private PostgreSQL 18 Alpine service, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Configure Your Store
Open the generated HTTPS administrator URL, sign in with the generated credentials from the Credentials panel, and rotate the password. Configure store identity, locale, currency, shipping, tax and a payment method before creating your first product.

Everything Spree Does, On Your Own Server

Spree Commerce runs in full here — catalog, orders, customers and the API, on infrastructure you control.

Full Commerce Administrator
Manage products, variants, pricing, inventory, customers and orders from the Spree administrator interface.
Headless Commerce Backend
Build a storefront, mobile app, B2C, B2B or multi-channel experience of your own against Spree's API-first foundation; none is bundled here.
Store Identity And Payments You Configure
Set store identity, locale, currency, shipping, tax and customer-owned payment integrations after deployment.
Private Database
PostgreSQL stays private with no host port; only the Spree web application is proxied over HTTPS.
Restart-Safe Commerce Data
Catalog, account, order, upload and application data persist across an xCloud Restart on two declared volumes.
Pinned, Reproducible Image
Start from an immutable Spree release and dependency image rather than an unpinned latest tag.

What You Can Do With Spree Commerce

Run a store with the data in your hands
Manage products, variants, pricing, inventory, customers and orders from the Spree administrator interface, with every record in a PostgreSQL database on your own Cloud VPS.
Back a custom or headless storefront
Build a storefront in the stack your team prefers and let it call Spree's REST API for the catalogue, carts and orders, with the backend under your control.
Serve B2B or cross-border selling
Use Spree as the commerce backend for wholesale or multi-market storefronts, as the README positions it, configuring locale, currency, shipping and tax yourself after deployment.
Prototype a store before scaling
Stand up a real Spree install on a real domain, load a catalogue and test checkout flows, then grow the server as orders and catalogue size increase.

Spree Commerce vs Alternatives

Shopify: If you sell on Shopify today, Spree is the self-hosted route: it is BSD 3-Clause licensed and, as deployed here, runs on a server you control, so the catalogue, orders and infrastructure stay yours.
Saleor: Saleor has its own xCloud page. Spree's README stresses a complete REST API, a TypeScript SDK and a Next.js storefront, so compare the API style you prefer.
Bagisto: Bagisto has its own xCloud page. Spree here is the admin and API only, with no storefront bundled, so compare the two templates by whether you want your own front end.
WooCommerce: WooCommerce has its own xCloud page. Spree is a Ruby on Rails, API-first platform; its README positions it for headless, B2B and cross-border selling.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

How much RAM does Spree Commerce need?

Spree and its PostgreSQL database start from a manifest requirement of 2 CPU cores, 2 GiB of RAM and 10 GiB of disk. The 6 GB Cloud VPS sold on this page leaves real room above that as your catalogue and order volume grow.

Is Spree Commerce free and open source?

Yes. Spree's README says it is BSD 3-Clause licensed and that you keep ownership of your code, data and infrastructure, and the LICENSE file at the v5.6.1 tag matches. xCloud charges for the dedicated Cloud VPS, not for the software.

Can you run Spree Commerce with Docker?

Yes, and this is Spree Commerce Docker hosting prepared for you: the template runs ghcr.io/spree/spree 5.6.1 beside postgres:18-alpine, both pinned by immutable digest, with spree_storage and spree_database volumes and HTTPS on your domain, so no compose file or proxy setup is yours to write.

Does Spree Commerce include a storefront?

Not in this template. Spree's README describes a headless platform with a REST API and a separate Next.js storefront project. This install runs the Spree application with its admin and API, so deploy or build your storefront separately and point it at your domain.

Does Spree Commerce have a REST API?

Yes. The README describes a complete REST API with a TypeScript SDK, which is what a custom or Next.js storefront talks to. The template adds no gateway of its own: the API is served by the Spree application on your HTTPS domain.

Does Spree Commerce include a payment gateway?

No. Payment providers need customer-owned accounts, credentials and business configuration, which you add inside Spree after deployment. SMTP, object storage, a CDN, error tracking and search are also yours to configure; none is bundled or preconfigured by the template.

How do I sign in to the Spree Commerce admin?

Enter your administrator email during installation. xCloud generates the initial password and shows it once in the Credentials panel. Open /admin on your domain, sign in, then rotate the password inside Spree, since editing the environment values later does not change the account.

What should I back up on a Spree Commerce server?

A backup is spree_database and spree_storage together, at an application-consistent point. A database-only copy is incomplete when local Active Storage holds uploads. Keep a verified off-server copy and test a restore in an isolated install, with the signing secret preserved.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Spree Commerce?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the template pins 5.6.1 by immutable digest, and existing-site upgrades are a planned operation on your side. Copy both volumes, look through the upstream release notes, then adopt a newer template version when one is published and test.

What is the upload limit for Spree Commerce?

xCloud's default proxy request-body cap is 100M, which bounds uploads passing through the reverse proxy to Spree, such as product images. Larger files need a different route, for example object storage that you configure in Spree yourself.

Is this Spree Commerce cloud hosting?

It is your own Spree on a dedicated Cloud VPS that xCloud provisions, not a hosted sandbox. Spree's README points to a free hosted sandbox for trying it, whereas here the private PostgreSQL database, both volumes and the administrator belong to your install.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
